Sheri,

Thank you for sharing this. My question with this case report is whether it translates to LLLT given that this CO2 LASER burned through tissue and exposed bone, which may mean the growth plate received thermal damage. Thoughts?

[Attachment(s) from Sheri included below] I found an article on Physeal Arrest in a 5 year old following laser treatment of warts. They reference an older article done on Rabbit growth plates. Hope the article attaches.

Hi ,I thought of you when I was in Houston last month lecturing on lasers. How are you and how is rehab going at Gulf Coast?The book I took this from is "Low Level Laser Terhapy as a Medical Treatment Modality" Pekka J Pontinen. I could cite the references for you but most are in Spanish (I think). If you or anyone wants I will type them out for you, I just can't translate them for you. The section is on Contraindications and it was published in 1992.Laurie McCauley, DVM> > > > >> > > > > I have started working at a practice that has a Q1000 laser. It if certified as a Class I laser. Are class I lasers therapeutic?( It has wavelengths ranging form 470 - 940. The power per diode is less than 5 mW. It has 8 light emitting diodes and 12 laser diodes. Total output per cycle is 3-9 J.)> > > > > I wondering if any on has used this laser or is familiar with it. Does it reach a depth that would treat these conditions? I know depth is wavelength dependent but with variable wavelengths how deep am I really treating with the number of Joules put out? If you have one what are you using it for? Currently it's being using at our clinic to help with healing post op. We are looking at getting a class III laser but as the one that does rehab. in the clinic I want to clarify what the lasers do and what their optimal uses are. Thanks for any help.> > > > > > > > > > Dr. Falch> > > > >> > > > > > > >> > >>
